My younger brother, Alasdair died on March10 2013 after a long and brave fight against cancer.  He was 56 years young, fiercely loyal and independent and lived for his family, friends and the little piece of heaven that is Loch Eck, near Dunoon. 

Before he died, I told him that I would do as much as I could to raise funds to help the fight against cancer and my first outing is the Edinburgh Half Marathon in May this year.

Please help me to raise funds for Cancer Research Uk by giving what you can.
